If Your iPod Won’t Turn On or Respond

The Acorn Programme Guide

1.1 About the Acorn Programme
This is a programme we have developed to help people who harm themselves, or who use other self-defeating behaviours to cope with their experiences. This guide is intended to explain what we do and why, and what we will expect of you on the programme.

1.2 What are Self-defeating Behaviours
Self-defeating behaviours might be self-harming behaviours, which can take a range of forms. We most commonly think of taking repeated overdoses of tablets or of cutting oneself, but people find many ways to harm themselves. Other examples are drug or alcohol abuse, eating disorders or stealing. They are dangerous and humiliating behaviours for those who do them, and frightening or worrying to those who witness them.

Self-defeating behaviours can also be less immediately damaging, but nevertheless lead to distress. This would include things like withdrawing into isolation and avoiding contact with others, or becoming dissociated so as to lose contact with what is going on around you.

Using the Acorn C/C++ Development Environment

The Acorn C/C++ Development Suite from Castle Technology Ltd is a major update to Acorn C/C++ that Acorn released in 1994. It includes new 32-bit versions of the C compiler, ARM assembler, linker and all of the other tools that were in the original C/C++ pack. More importantly it enables software to be ported to Castle’s new 32-bit IYONIX PC ahead of its launch.

Acorn C/C++ cost £250 in 1994 and was supplied with four printed manuals totalling nearly 1400 pages and several floppy discs. Castle supply a single CD for £99 which contains the new software, the updated manuals in PDF format, and some useful public domain software including StrongEd, Zap, Perl and 32-bit IYONIX versions of Colin Granville’s PDF reader and FTPc for transferring files to or from FTP sites. All of these are installed automatically by the supplied installer and work with RISC OS 3.10 onwards. As if that wasn’t enough Castle is now including a new version of the ABC Compiler which was previously available from Pineapple Software and SID, an ARM disassembler and analysis tool.
